Hi PinalThakkar,Hi All,
I really need your suggestions for the situation I am in right now:
Let me explain the situation:
My Brother came to visit me in Canada in April 2019. He liked here so much and decided to study here. He got the offer letter from the college in Canada.
We hired an agent to fill out our application form and by mistake, they filled the wrong form. Even though the applicant is in Canada on a visitor visa, the rule says they need to fill study permit application for outside of Canada. My agent filled inside of Canada form. Because of that the application got rejected.
We extended his visitor visa by the flagpole on the border and he got the extension in September. Now, we got another offer letter from college for January intake. We processed the GIC meanwhile just to be safe even though he doesn't need it.
Now, We are ready to submit the file again:
Main Question:
For residency, Will it be Canada or will it be his home country?
I talked to CIC, and CIC confirmed that for eligibility it should be home country, then the only system will generate the study permit outside of the Canada application form. But within the form, what should I write? As he extended his visitor visa he passed 183 days. But should we consider 183 days from the extension date?
I really appreciate your sooner response.
Did your brother received his study permit? Did you apply through LA office? Can you share you please share your story?
